Small boxes
Best for books, documents, tools, bottles and other dense belongings. Smaller cartons help keep heavy loads manageable.
Moving boxes and packing supplies in Paris
Good packing starts with the right boxes. Weak or oversized cartons can split, become difficult to carry or damage belongings during transport. Using several practical sizes makes it easier to distribute weight, protect fragile items and load the van efficiently.
TransPetiParis can help customers who need boxes before a move, as well as those who already packed their belongings and simply need transport between two addresses. The service is suitable for students, expats, studios, furnished flats and complete apartment relocations.
What you can request
- Small, medium and larger moving boxes according to availability

- Optional moving or packing assistance depending on the request
Choose the right box for each item
Medium boxes
A versatile choice for kitchen items, clothes, toys, decorations and most household belongings.
Large boxes
Useful for light but bulky items such as bedding, cushions, coats and soft furnishings. Avoid filling them with books.
Fragile-item packing
Glassware, dishes, electronics and decorations need wrapping, empty space filled and clear fragile labels.
Wardrobe and clothing
Folded clothes can go into medium boxes, bags or suitcases. Keep boxes dry and avoid overfilling them.
Documents and valuables
Keep passports, keys, contracts, medication and essential valuables with you rather than inside the moving load.
How many moving boxes might you need?
There is no universal number because two homes of the same size may contain very different volumes. A furnished studio occupied for several years can require more cartons than a recently rented one-bedroom apartment.
As a practical starting point, send photos of cupboards, shelves, books, kitchen contents and storage areas. This makes it easier to estimate a suitable box mix and identify belongings that may need bags, wrapping or separate handling.
Important: quantities should be treated as estimates. It is usually safer to allow a small margin rather than run out of boxes immediately before moving day.
Box delivery in Paris
Delivery can save time when you do not have a car or cannot carry flat cartons on public transport. Send your address, preferred date and estimated quantity. Availability and pricing depend on the route, order size and current schedule.
For buildings with entry codes, courtyards, restricted access or no elevator, include these details in advance. This helps avoid delays and makes the delivery easier to organise.
Transport of boxes, bags and suitcases
You may not need a full traditional move. We can help when the job mainly consists of boxes, bags, suitcases, personal belongings or a few small pieces of furniture. This is especially useful for student rooms, furnished studios, temporary accommodation and expat relocations.
For a transport quote, provide both addresses, floor levels, elevator details, approximate box count and any additional items. Photos are useful when boxes vary greatly in size.
How to pack boxes safely
1. Reinforce the bottom
Close the base properly with strong tape before adding any belongings.
2. Control the weight
Place heavier objects in smaller boxes and lighter objects in larger cartons.
3. Fill empty spaces
Use suitable protective material so objects do not move freely during transport.
4. Label every box
Write the destination room, contents and “fragile” where necessary on more than one side.
Moving-box prices in Paris
The final price depends on the type and number of boxes, packing materials, delivery route and whether transport or labour is included. A small carton order and a complete packing-and-moving request are different services, so each quotation should reflect the actual need.
Send a clear list of materials and services required. This allows us to provide a more relevant estimate instead of presenting a generic package that may contain too much or too little.
Areas covered
Requests can be considered throughout Paris and in nearby areas such as Boulogne-Billancourt, Vincennes, Montreuil, Levallois-Perret, Saint-Denis and Créteil. Delivery or transport outside Paris depends on the quantity, route and availability.
For a faster quotation, send:
- Your delivery or pickup address
- Preferred date and time window
- Approximate quantity and box sizes
- Home size and photos of belongings
- Both addresses if box transport is required
